  1. When it is going to rain the frog is a dark colour and when the weather is going to be good it is a yellow colour. When you see the snail at full stretch on the grass at early morning it is a sign of rain.
    When we are going to have good weather the bog is a clear colour. When you see the surf in the water it is a sign of wind storm.
